    IBM CEO on the Future of the Tech Industry

    Apr 19 15:11:19 Booster of slop. Someone needs to explain to him that a million-word book only one person reads (the person who produces it using LLMs) won't have impact greater than 10-word messages a million actual humans read. Likewise, with quantum computing/computers (QC), unless they actually do something that traditional [sic] computers are unable to do at the same budget, they won't sell, they will at best beco Apr 19 15:11:19 me a museum exhibit. Apr 19 15:11:19

    IBM has mass layoffs, but the media is not covering this. Sadly this says a lot more about the state of the media than it says about IBM. Apr 19 15:11:19 Recently, for political reasons, IBM made some headlines, as we noted last week. This got published just over a day ago: Apr 19 15:11:19

    Apr 19 15:11:19 In 2025—not long after Trump fired off executive orders that targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in the workplace—the Justice Department announced the Civil Rights Fraud Initiative. Its purpose was to investigate companies and academic institutions that accepted money from the government, by invoking a federal law called the False Claims Act. This past week, IBM agreed to pay $17 million over claims tha Apr 19 15:11:19 t its DEI programs allegedly violated the law—the first instance of an employer settling a case that the government brought under this initiative. Apr 19 15:11:19 In the settlement agreement, the federal government argued that as a federal contractor, IBM was required to comply with anti-discrimination protections under civil rights law. The government identified DEI programs that allegedly took demographic background into consideration when making employment decisions, including a “diversity modifier that tied bonus compensation to achieving diversity targets” and the use of “dive Apr 19 15:11:19 rse interview slates” as part of the hiring and promotion process. The agreement also noted that it was “neither an admission of liability by IBM nor a concession by the United States that its claims are not well founded”—despite the fact that IBM had altered or ended some of the programs that were under fire. Apr 19 15:11:19
    Apr 19 15:11:19 They partly relied on (leaked) footage of IBM's CEO proudly stating they were hiring based on race and gender. Many people inside IBM found it offensive because they felt like the RAs targeted them for being of the "wrong gender" and/or "wrong race". Apr 19 15:11:19 Now there's this discussion about the CEO selling his home (we are unable to verify is that is indeed his home). Apr 19 15:11:19

    Arvind's $2.3M home in CT seems to being sold - what does this mean? Back to the Home Land?

    Apr 19 15:11:19 Given his age and the recent layoffs (also stock market performance), it's not unthinkable he'll be replaced. In recent hours we saw many people who said they had left IBM (or got laid off, they're vague about the reasons): Apr 19 15:11:19

    It feels incredibly bittersweet to announce that today is my last day at IBM.

    Apr 19 15:11:19 IBM is a company in the loo, a firm in a state of rapid disintegration. In the past 2 years we gave many examples where Fedora/Red Hat staff was forced to adopt slop; in recent days the issue gathered steam or critical traction because there are employees who openly and publicly complain about it.

Apr 19 15:11:19 I've not checked who or how and where from, nor how many people check the XMLL files. Apr 19 15:11:19 The conversions are done using our own converters. Our SSG generates both HTML and GemText. Apr 19 15:11:19 > What is the role of Kenedy which seems like a crawler/search for Apr 19 15:11:19 > gemini space? Any advice welcome.

I wonder if they pay Bill Nye to name drop it. Apr 19 19:02:05 Anyway, back to cheap coffee makers for me. At least if they die after a couple years you won't scream. Apr 19 19:02:57 Walmart tried to sell me an extended warranty for another year on a $16.88 coffee maker. I laughed and said no. That's a bad deal, especially when I can just pay with a credit card that had "extended warranty" as a card network benefit. Apr 19 19:03:26 A refund of just over $17 from the card network if it breaks down in the next two years isn't life and death, but it doesn't cost anything. Apr 19 19:03:34 The more something costs, the more that benefit is worth. Apr 19 19:03:41 Like, you know, the Applecare? Apr 19 19:03:59 Like if you buy a new Macbook or iPhone, how they want to charge hundreds for that second year of Applecare? Apr 19 19:04:11 You just decline it and pay with a card that has extended warranty. Apr 19 19:04:40 If something breaks, just pay the Apple store to fix it, with that card, and then claim it with American Express Assurance, which is their subsidiary that handles the claims. Apr 19 19:05:09 Tell them like "Hey, my Macbook keyboard broke in the second year, had to pay this amount, it's on that transaction, here's the invoice for the repair. Apr 19 19:05:21 They issue a credit that takes that transaction and reverses it. Apr 19 19:05:49 But people don't know this, so Apple sells "Applecare" plans that increase the price of a product by like $200-300. Apr 19 19:08:04 And the credit card might also have coverage that Applecare won't help you with, so say your phone drops out of your pocket and you run over it with the car by accident, or someone steals your Macbook while you're getting a coffee refill at Starbucks. If that happens within 90 days of buying it, American Express will give you the money back. You'll need to file a police report if it was stolen, but that's not really a big deal when Apr 19 19:08:06 you're talking about something expensive. Apr 19 19:09:36 Extended warranties are one of those things where they profit by volume of sales. They know how many products tend to break down, they also know how many people just won't bother to use the extended warranty or forget their paperwork, especially on less expensive items. Apr 19 19:09:52 So it benefits the company or the store selling them more than it benefits you, statistically. Apr 19 19:10:17 i was reminded of you today Apr 19 19:10:20 in the marjet Apr 19 19:10:23 *ket Apr 19 19:10:34 How so?

Apr 19 19:11:29 I'm getting quotes of like $200-300 to replace a keyboard.

Apr 19 20:10:32 Then Mandy fell into a depression where he realizes what he's done, the mistake he's made in getting rid of the only person that would have put up with him, but he's also too narcissistic to admit that he screwed up and ask me to forgive him. Apr 19 20:11:05 So now he doesn't want to get out of bed, or shower regularly, or eat properly, because he realizes that within a few months, I'll move out and dump his ass, and he won't know what to do. Apr 19 20:11:17 Is it really that hard to swallow your pride? Apr 19 20:11:57 He's got a lot of his sister in him, and that's not a good thing. Apr 19 20:12:46 He can go crawling back to her maybe.

Apr 20 05:27:32 Not really many choices though. Apr 20 05:27:41 IE was never on Linux, and also, ewww. Apr 20 05:28:13 Opera was, but it cost money to license. Most people aren't going to pay to license it and neither is the Linux distribution. It was better than Netscape 4.x but still proprietary. Apr 20 05:29:02 For a while your choices were basically Mozilla Application Suite and Konqueror, then Firefox got forked from Mozilla Suite. Apr 20 05:29:08 I was a very early critic of Firefox. Apr 20 05:31:48 I said at the time, to the effect of "Firefox is just stupid. They haven't solved any of the 'bloat', they've just removed some of the XPI files from Mozilla and they've made it so it can't handle e-mail, doesn't have a calendar or address book, and can't make web pages, and does not support IRC, but those things added a few MB of hard disk space, and took almost no additional RAM resources once the browser itself was running. So what Apr 20 05:31:50 they've done is stripped it down to a browser that can't do much, takes the same amount of vital resources (RAM/CPU), and it may appeal to people who are just overwhelmed by useful features, but that isn't me." #boycottnovell-social.log <== Apr 20 05:32:10 Germany: Lufthansa pilots' union call for two-day strike https://www.dw.com/en/germany-lufthansa-pilots-union-call-for-two-day-strike/a-76748571 #techrights.log <== Apr 20 05:32:10 Germany: Lufthansa pilots' union call for two-day strike https://www.dw.com/en/germany-lufthansa-pilots-union-call-for-two-day-strike/a-76748571 #boycottnovell-social.log <== #techrights.log <== #boycottnovell-social.log <== Apr 20 05:32:55 fuel price relief https://www.dw.com/en/germany-news-coalition-split-widens-over-fuel-price-relief/live-76746587 #techrights.log <== Apr 20 05:32:55 fuel price relief https://www.dw.com/en/germany-news-coalition-split-widens-over-fuel-price-relief/live-76746587 Apr 20 05:32:57 schestowitz[TR3]: The SeaMonkey suite is nice, but now the browser component is so far behind that you're not going to get an all in one application that always works. Apr 20 05:33:30 For a while, Firefox and SeaMonkey hadn't diverged much at the core rendering engine level. So SeaMonkey worked perfectly fine on the web. #boycottnovell-social.log <== Apr 20 05:33:30 India news: Delhi looks to ban fossil fuel two-wheelers from 2028 https://www.dw.com/en/india-news-delhi-looks-to-ban-fossil-fuel-two-wheelers-from-2028/live-76745829 #techrights.log <== Apr 20 05:33:30 India news: Delhi looks to ban fossil fuel two-wheelers from 2028 https://www.dw.com/en/india-news-delhi-looks-to-ban-fossil-fuel-two-wheelers-from-2028/live-76745829 #boycottnovell-social.log <== #techrights.log <== Apr 20 05:34:38 But then Mozilla added more and more things that SeaMonkey can't add, because it isn't a multi-process browser. It's not interested in bringing in Rust and having to use two compilers. Mozilla broke their Sync protocol. SeaMonkey has a lot of things to support now that Mozilla isn't even using. Apr 20 05:35:03 More of Firefox is using Rust, sadly. Apr 20 05:35:31 It's replacements for really old and well tested code that had matured. Apr 20 05:36:49 Everywhere you look in Firefox is a flashing NEON sign, like USE OUR VPN, USE OUR EMAIL RELAY, VISIT OUR SPONSORS AT OUR SUGGESTED CRAP TILES ON YOUR HOME PAGE! USE AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!! MOZILLLLLLLAAAAA AI!!!!!! WWW DOT MOZILLA DOT AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!111111 Apr 20 05:37:05 So I'm not surprised Manjaro is switching to Vivaldi. Apr 20 05:37:27 I would have rather them switch to LibreWolf, but at the core, Firefox is falling behind the Chromium browsers. Apr 20 05:37:38 Lots of sites use features Firefox doesn't have. Apr 20 05:37:49 They stick out a sign that says "This doesn't work in your browser." Apr 20 05:38:12 And if Firefox adds more crap, but doesn't add web features that sites need and users want, they lose users.
